No, there were large breeds there. Rocks, Reds, Astrolorps, Jersey Giants, Leghorns, Polish, etc. We saw the judge pick a single comb RIR as the winner of the American class. There were alot of bantams, but not all of the breeds there were bantams.

Those cochins were huge. I was shocked at the size of the White Rocks. I never saw such a large white chicken before, all I have seen are leghorns

I wish there was a better sale area but other then that it was awesome. I need to get some Lt.Brahmas I love them.

I know there were LF, but i am just saying i thought it was primarily a bantam show. I was so overwhelmed by how much was there.
It seemed all the 'stuff' for sale was the bantam association. There are always Large fowl there, but i have never seen many in the 3 yrs i have gone.
I took some random pictures of the place, maybe some people here will be in them

I'll post them in a few

Yes, there were ALOT of bantams, but on the opposite side were the LG. I thought the ducks were nice, and some of the geese were great. What about those frizzled inside out LG on the corner? I forget what the name was...pretty outrageous.

I think I know the ones you are talking about. They looked like they had gone through a tornado. I don't remember their name but their appearance was unforgetable!!
